We run regular webinars for Dementia Friends Champions to help support you as you go out in to your communities and create Dementia Friends. We’ve got a whole range of webinars coming up in the next couple of months. Have a look below and then email us to tell us which webinars you want to attend!

We walk you through the standard Dementia Friends Information Session. We will talk through each of the activities, remind you where you can get your resources and materials from and explain how you can remain up to date with the Session content.
